Israeli shelling targeted the southern Lebanese towns of Khiam and Debbine minutes after a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon entered into force at midnight local time Friday, according to Lebanon’s state news agency.
Around 30 minutes after the truce took effect, the agency reported the “continuation of hostile shelling” on the two towns.
It also reported intensive Israeli drone flights over Rashaya and the western slopes of Mount Hermon in southeastern Lebanon.
No information was immediately available on casualties or damage.
US President Donald Trump announced the truce Thursday after what he described as “excellent conversations” with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. (AA)
